NBA 2K15: The Park's Scoring Needs To Change

[RaychelSnr]

Five feet, ten inches has been my height since junior high. To make up for my lack of size, one trick I often employed in pickup games was to ask the other players if we could score the contest with one-point and two-point shots, instead of the standard two-point and three-point shots. Most people would accept that rule change without any pushback, not realizing that they'd just agreed to give a smaller, perimeter-oriented player like myself a statistical advantage.

We always played 1-2 point, regardless of height advantages or disadvantages. I find it funny that you think you "tricked" them...it was just always the standard where I played.

So NBA2K is doing the standard I think most people are used to.

What they need to fix is the 7'3" C that are the best at everything, dribbling, 3pt shooting, etc. They should have a cap limit of what each person can do at each height. I'm tired of playing with or playing against 7'0" SF or 6'7" PG, etc. These guys just cheese their way to victory and there's hardly any skill involved. The park hasn't even been fun since like the first couple weeks cause people realized they can make 7'3" C that are 99 overalls and can get every badge. Where is the fun in that?

1's & 2's is all I know for pick-up basketball. I can't even recall many the times I've played 2's & 3's. But I do remember the reason we never played 2's & 3's is because that's too much math for some people. Keep It Simple Stupid helps a lot of people in pick-up games.

I wouldn't refer to you as the Dr. James Naismith of tracking pick-up basketball points.

Don't matter either way people will play the same way... Go for more points lol! Get the win faster if you can sink shots, the difference between 1 & 2 is the exact same as 2 & 3... Mentality will not change In my Opinion

Coming up Playing 21 It was 2s&3s, but any Team ball was 1s&2s

21/ tip is way different than team ball, but I get what you're saying. The original thread was about team ball.

Man, what if 2K make 21 tip & up to 5 people could play? And only put back dunks knocked the shooter down to zero or 11. That would be fun. Make free throws mean something again.

Like the thinking here. I'll def. discuss with team.

What they need to fix is the 7'3" C that are the best at everything, dribbling, 3pt shooting, etc.

Believe me, we've broken it down many times with the dev. team. They're very aware and I'm confident this should be the last year you see this type of thing.

Well to be fair...the reason people kick out for another three is the ABYSMAL layup system this year. it makes you miss alot of those "safe put back layups"...

[snc237]

You think NBA 2k would of taken a page out it the NHL series on how to create a guy for online play. Yeah it's not perfect but it's a heck of a lot better then what 2k is doing. Oh well easy enough fix in the future

[Introvese]

wat needs to be done is sperate the scoring avgs from the Park & Rec. its so stupid to have them both merge together

Word. Never played pick up basketball with 2's and 3's. Even in practice, we go for 1's and 2's most of the times.

[TotesMaGotes]

The reason why the ball is kicked back outside in MyPark games isn't so that way people can keep heaving it up to try and land a three it's because if you get the ball down low standing and try to move or shoot or put the ball back up in any way eighty percent of the time it will get stripped because the game rewards those with the button mashing strategy.

Re: NBA 2K15: The Park's Scoring Needs To Change

Playing as a max height C since my first myplayer years ago...

They need to reduce the speed of a max HT center. They also need to reduce the max height of all positions besides C, to make up for the lowered athleticism. Just because Giannias Ante on the bucks is 6'11 3/4s doesn't mean we should allow SFs to be 7'0"

Just quickly looking through the starting lineups, I found the average height for a SF is 80.37 inches, or 6'8" and some change. So Tell me why the average on 2k is probably 6'10-6'11? Only one SF is listed a 7'0", which is Ryan Kelly.

The ability to be a SF that can handle the ball like a PG, and also run the 5 ruins the game in my opinion, PGs should be smaller, Centers should be the tallest because on average in basketball that's how it is.

Now if we wanted to, maybe allow the SF to be 7'0" but reduce his abilities, he can't be the fastest, he can't be this or that... Make the height go into decision making rather than, let me make the guy out.
